We couldn’t get a developer interested in coming in and helping us until Steve showed interest and came in and built Wheatgrass Village. 

We were impressed with how easy it was to work with Talon. Their model appears to be one of the few companies in the state of Iowa that have found a way to build apartment buildings in rural areas. There seemed to be gaps every time we talked to someone, but Steve was able to figure it out.

We just continue to have great communication with them. They don’t cut any corners, which is something we really appreciated. The quality of their work is amazing and you see that in all of their projects in other communities. Prairie Trail Village is no different. The curb appeal they put into these projects is top-end. Their team is great to work with. From a local level, they’re just very professional. For Sheldon, it’s a game-changer.

They’ve worked hard to promote it to the community and they’ve certainly helped answer our need. Talon understands the needs of communities. They understand the potential programs that are available to create a viable model for market-rate apartments.

We’d have Steve come down in a heartbeat to do another one. It wouldn’t be a hard decision for us at all. Steve told us, ‘This is what I’m going to do,’ and did it far beyond what he said he was going to do.
